So Botto's Tuscany post got me inspired to share my ride from yesterday. It was a group ride called the Ramrod where you ride around Mt. Rainier in one day, 150 miles and about 10,000 feet of climbing. It was a tough ride but very pretty.
Here is the Garmin data:

This is the first real climb up to Paradise.
This is the start of the Nisqually River:

This is the descent from Paradise. Went down the other side of the canyon too. VIDEO
Cayuse Pass climb. I call it White Pass - wrong. Climb starts about the 100 mile mark and is a constant 7% climb for about 8 miles. It was hot too. VIDEO
Put a fork in me:
